After Action Report
The Lakers ran roughshod over the Knicks 126-104. Lakers' offense had its way with the Knicks. The Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
